Primary 5 had a fantastic morning during our \u2018Lego Robotics\u2019 Computer Xplorers workshop with Mr McGill. Pupils worked collaboratively to build lego models and then applied their programming\/coding skills to animate these.\u00a0 Mrs Dyson was very proud of the teamwork skills demonstrated and the amazing\u00a0robots created. Pupils have been using Scratch and Code.org in class to develop their skills and this has been an excellent opportunity for them to apply their learning in a new context. We would like to thank Mr McGill once again for returning to Dalbeattie and enthusing pupils in STEM activities. A most memorable day!<\/p>\n

\u201cToday I learned how to make Lego robots and how to use motors, sensors and how to use a Lego program to control our robots.\u201d<\/em> Olive<\/p>\n

\u201cI would recommend this workshop because it\u2019s fun and you do a lot of cool stuff. You make your own robots and use a computer to tell your robot what to do.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Abi<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was hilarious when Alpha One dabbed. I think he is a better dancer than me plus he can do push-ups with one hand, he\u2019s so strong.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Farrel<\/p>\n

\u201cMy favourite model to make was the kicking legs because I put the forever control on it and it went so fast that it was jumping and wriggling everywhere on the table.\u201d<\/em> \u00a0Kourtney<\/p>\n

\u201cMr McGill was funny and was precise too.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 Cairn<\/p>\n

\u201cMy favourite Lego model was the Dancing Birds because they spun around and we made them speak.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 Jack<\/p>\n

\u201cAoife and I built a lion \u2013 it could sit down, stand up, sense its bone and then sit back down.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Milly<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned that things are easy with instructions but when I built freestyle with my partner, it was much harder.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Hollie<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed making the spinner because Jamie-Leigh and I had a challenge of who could spin for the longest time.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Cadence<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned what STEM stands for \u2013 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.\u201d<\/em> Aoife<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was amazing when the Lego robots started to spin and make noises. My favourite model was the aeroplane because when you pointed it down, the propeller started but when the aeroplane pointed up, the propeller stopped.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Noah<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really funny when Rio and I were building the Roaring Lion because when it was built, we pressed the play button and it raised its arms . . . boof, it hit its own head off!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Harry<\/p>\n

\u201cMy favourite Lego model was the Hungry Crocodile because it was so cool<\/em>.\u201d Jamie<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was funny when the boot flew off our kicking legs and when the boat fell off the stand and flew across the table.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Finn<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the Lego Robotics workshop I felt excited yet worried that I was going to mess up the program.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Rio<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned how the motor worked and how to use code in the program.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Rhys<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very funny when Alpha One did the dab in front of everyone.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Stuart<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed making the Hungry Crocodile.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Callum<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed making the Lego boat with Stuart. It was awesome.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Logan<\/p>\n

\u201cI would recommend this workshop because it\u2019s funny, smart and literally the BEST!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 Owen<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the Lego Robotics workshop I felt calm but when the day started, I was getting excited.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Zach<\/p>\n

\u201cMy favourite model was the Hungry Crocodile. The cool part was when you put your hand near the sensor and the mouth closed. Snap!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Kalib<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed working with Sam to make the lion and the kicking legs.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Josh<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was funny when I lifted the lions legs and its head came off.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Irvin<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned to code with Lego robots. The workshop is just amazing.\u201d<\/em> Fabio<\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoyed making the Roaring Lion and recording my <\/em>voice.\u201d Amie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
